This five-day intensive programme equips laboratory professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to implement, manage, and sustain ISO 17025: the international standard for laboratory competence. With a hands-on, practice-focused structure, the course covers everything from understanding the standard’s framework to mastering internal audits, measurement uncertainty, conformity statements, and risk-based quality system improvements. Delegates will engage with real-world case studies and interactive sessions led by a seasoned industry expert, gaining confidence to drive accreditation and elevate laboratory performance.
Laboratory results play a pivotal role in decision-making across public health, environmental safety, forensics, and compliance. Inaccurate or unreliable results carry significant legal, reputational, and operational risks. ISO 17025 provides the benchmark for laboratory competence, and its proper implementation is essential for ensuring impartiality, traceability, and trust. This course enables laboratories to meet global standards, strengthen stakeholder confidence, and safeguard professional integrity through structured quality management.
This course is designed for professionals involved in laboratory operations and quality assurance, including:
Laboratory Managers
Scientific Staff (e.g. Chemists, Microbiologists)
Internal Auditors and Laboratory Consultants
Lab Technicians and Instrument Operators
Anyone responsible for ensuring test reliability and compliance
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
